EARTH, WIND, FIRE, WATER AND STRESS

 EARTH, WIND, FIRE, WATER AND STRESS

It has finally happened. People are breaking apart because of stress at big events. At the work place. In the sports arena. On live television. We need to investigate our society. Isn’t there something wrong with that pedantic FASTER, HIGHER, STRONGER!  Go to hell Mr. Caesar or Alexander the Great or Philip of Macedonia-You do your own thing man; leave us be. 

I remember once watching a movie shoot near our club gate. A fight scene. Bales of straw, barrels and a fast car rams into them and then a mock fight between the fight double and the villain and then the heroine runs in to intervene!

I said, “remarkable shot!” The director was standing near me and he smirked, “ they are monkeys; they will do anything for money!” He destroyed the reputation of that heroine with that one line.

That’s what’s wrong with us. We will do anything for money/fame. Look at Instagram. Common people have gone nuts trying to jump on  to the fame wagon.

What I want is a reset button. Let us go back to the sixties and begin afresh. Let us not land on the moon and fuck it all up!

Let us stay home. I promise there would not have been a Covid-19 if there had not been a Korean/Vietnam/Afghanistan/Cold war. Let us bring back the carpenters and the bottle makers and throw away plastic plates and acrylic stuff. Let us manage with what we have. Let us not envy our neighbour and go into a tizzy watching his new car! Let us stay US!
